How It Works
As an Affiliate, you have the ability to earn commissions by promoting courses and bringing in new students to the course creator's site.
National Cyber Security Training Academy uses Affiliate Links to track who has sent a new student to a site; these links are specific URLs that include your unique Affiliate Code, and you will have access to URLs for individual courses, as well as a general homepage link. Whenever a new visitor arrives at the site through one of these links, their browser saves a cookie with a record of your code, which lasts for 30 days — if that student signs up at any time during that next month, they will be counted as one of your referrals. From that point on, courses they buy will earn you a commission, based on the terms of your affiliate agreement.

Getting Set Up as an Affiliate
Affiliates are set up as regular users of the site, and so have their own login and password. If you were already a student before signing up as an Affiliate, you will continue using your existing account as usual.

Yes you can. If you are getting a discount of 20%, you can discount the course up to 20%.
As an example a course cost $100 and you are receiving a 20% discount, (that means the course cost you $80) you can sell the course $90 for $90.
